Affordable Health Insurance for Unemployed from HCCMIS

When you are living on a budget, some expenses can start to take priority over others. With your rent or mortgage payments, car payments, bills, and food, medical insurance might not make it to the top of your list. Perhaps you think it’s too expensive when you aren’t on a company plan, but consider this:

Hospital visits are expensive!

Even if you are in good health, you never know when emergency situations might arise. Did you know that in many hospitals, you could be charged a fee just for visiting the Emergency Room?

The Job Hunt in Today’s Market

When it comes to finding a job in today’s market, times are changing. Even if it’s only been just a few years since your last job hunt, you may be surprised to learn how much of an impact the web and social media is having on the way workers and employers go about the hiring process. It’s a competitive atmosphere out there, so we’ve put together a few tips to help you find and secure your dream job.

Participate in social media.

Social media is taking the world by storm. Websites like Twitter and LinkedIn in particular are becoming standard forums for professionals looking to establish their expertise in an area and connect with other professionals online. Building a strong resume on LinkedIn and actively participating in Tweetups (Twitter-based seminars and conversations) and other online discussions can build your reputation as an active member of your industry.

Update your resume.

While some experts argue that social sites like LinkedIn will eventually kill the traditional resume, it’s important that you keep yours up to date. Keep it short (one page or less) and to the point, and be creative in the way you present yourself. Do you have a blog or a website to link to that displays your work and experience? Is there valuable volunteer experience in your past that might set you apart from the competition? Use your experience and accomplishments to sell you to a prospective employer.

Sign up for an online employment service.

Millions of employers and workers use online job placement websites like Monster and CareerBuilder.com to find the right match for openings around the world. Be sure to create profiles with these services and actively use them for leads on jobs that might be a good fit for you.

Don’t forget about medical insurance

Consider purchasing short term medical insurance like HCC Life Short-Term Medical for medical treatment while you are between employer coverage.
